During the development of Zn I have regulary tested on Squeak (currently 4.2 #10977), and most of the code works unmodified. Recently, I had another look, and I would like to fix some issues, if possible. 

Thanks everybody for the responses.

By loading the core Cryptography package, Cryptography-mtf.36 and the AXAnnouncements package Announcements-klub.1, ignoring the load error which is trying to add a method to MIMEType (it does not exist in Squeak, so the method is not needed anyway), 150 of Zn's 151 units tests should be green in Squeak 4.2 #10977.

The one test that fails has to do with a hack to support byte encodings like Latin2 that is simply too dependent on Pharo to port. Unicode and latin1 are of course supported. I might fix this later when I have more time.
